Legends of Tabletop Podcast

Ulla Vangelis – Leslie Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse Jack Nash – John (Prime) GM- Tod Foley Trae flips to his drone view to see that a child named "Max" has fallen into a fissure - into water below. There's chaos as the adults push the other kids out of the way, because they're all excited about finding fresh water. One of the adults calls Whisper to the front of the line, ordering her to climb up into the crack Max just fell through. They want to know how far down the water is. Ulla is the first to speak. "Ok I'm ready to go kill people. Who's with me?" and Trae pulls out his gun. Nash looks over and tells him "Trae, you are officially loose." As the group hustles down-tunnel toward the work site, Reggie establishes telepathic communication with Whisper. Splashing into the freezing water, she calls out "I've got him! I've got Max!" His body is cold. As the connection is broken, Reggie feels the rope pulling at her waist. By the time they get down there, every adult in town is standing around, smoking and slapping each other on the back. The miners and engineers are very excited about finding water, and no one seems concerned that a child died in the effort. Whisper hugs her. Then she spots Reggie on Nash's back, and runs over to hug him as well. "Jar Baby! You were there with me! How did you do that?" she asks. Reggie explains that she has powers, if she only works at psychic manipulation, she can do anything. "I couldn't save Max!" she says, and begins crying again. "I'm not like you, Jar Baby." - then she stops and her eyes open wide: "YOU CAN SAVE MAX,' she whispers. "You got manip-alation!" "Reg, back me up!" shouts Nash, as he runs to Max's side and begins attempting to resuscitate him. Reggie furrows his brow, envisioning bursts of Life Energy flowing into the small brain. Nash keeps massaging the kid's chest, and after a minute, the eyelids flutter, and Max sits up, spitting out water. The undergrounders stand there, amazed, saying nothing. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?" shouts Nash. Exo steps forward, waving his cigar around. "Look friend, I thank you for bringin' the kid back, but his lot in life is to WORK, just like the rest of us here. I don't know what YOU do... maybe YOU'RE the problem." Nash puts the child down and slams his fist into Exo's face, breaking his nose, as Exo grabs his wrist and pulls him close. In his other hand Exo has been holding a knife, and he stabs Nash in the ribs just as Nash head-butts him. The other adults all step back. Glancing over at Ulla, Trae pulls out his pistol and shoots the foreman who led Max's team. Ulla releases her nanobots. Her hair whips around as the tiny bots pour out of her nose and mouth, swirling out of her head in a giant black whirlpool. The undergrounders scream and back up, many of them running away up-tunnel. She then sends the cloud toward Exo's body, where they begin swarming around him, penetrating his skin. Eco's body begins swelling uncomfortably. Nash steps forward and stabs him, and Exo's body POPS like a giant blood-filled balloon. Blinky raises his hands and steps forward. "I take it you had problems with Exo," he says. "Some of us did." Turns out Blinky is the new leader. Ulla and Nash confront him about child labor, which he defends as "from each according to his ability." In the end it is decided that the child miners will be given a choice. The six youngest children, including both Whisper and Max, decide they want to go with "Jar Baby" and his friends. Whisper has explained to them that he's a magic baby, and they're all very excited about that. http://daytrippersrpg.com https://www.patreon.com/asif CORE Discord https://discord.gg/eM5u4XesXr CORE Products: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?filters=100202_0_0_0_0 https://www.etsy.com/shop/MidwestResinGeek https://www.patreon.com/legendsoftabletop Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/
